Match Preview

The Cherry & Whites welcome third placed Bournmouth to the REC this weekend for a match where nothing less than a win will do.

Camborne sit just three points clear of the South West Premier League relegation zone and know that they face back to back fixtures which could make or break their season. Victory at home this Saturday followed by a win on the road at 3rd bottom Bracknell could see 'Town' pull clear of relegation places and should give them a comfortable buffer over the teams below them. Anything less than this and the Cherry & Whites could be sucked into a dog fight to stay up.

The squad know they are playing well and have been competitive in all their recent games, including last week up at Newton Abbot (where unfortunate injuries just before the break arguably cost them the chance of taking 4 points) so confidence is good in the camp.

Team News;

Selectors have made 5 changes to the squad which played at Newton Abbot last week as a number of players return.

In the back line Taron Peacock makes a welcome return at scrum half as David Mankee reverts to his usual fly half role with Jake Champions injured. Ben Tyler-Guy comes back in on the wing in place of Bradley Bawden and Harvey Bell returns at Full back taking over from last weeks debutant Harry Brown.
Selectors have shuffled the pack with last weeks man of the match Kieran Westlake moving into the second row and David Roberts returning at no.8. This gives Ashley Riches a rare chance to play in his preferred position of flanker, something he will relish after spending most of the season in the row.
As for the replacements, hard working flanker Phil Hinchley drops to the bench where he replaces Sam Bartle and former Cornish Pirate Rhodri Mcatee comes in for Cornwall u20's Jordan Nicholls.
